Not for the change of mind from “I completely don’t care about humans” to “I’ll make my only Son a human (to start with) and let other humans crucify him so that they could wash off the original sin”.
It’s not smoking-gun obvious to me that this second formulation is what the pre-Pauline Christians believed in. Jesus’s divinity certainly wasn’t settled even after Paul. Consider for example the Arian “heresy”.
And then God says “j/k, just kidding” and does the whole New Testament thing :-)
Either God, Jesus or St. Paul—that all depends entirely on which sect you ask.
Got to be someone from the Holy Trinity—Paul isn’t going to cut it.
